Physical architecture overview

The physical architecture provides justification for choices made at the logical level where Non-Functional Requirements (NFRs) and various decisions have to be made. A significant focus will be on the data contracts and service level agreements (SLAs) for all deployed software and scripted PaaS integration blueprints that appear to the casual observer as if they were custom-coded implementations. Architecture processes will clearly drive the operational characteristics of your design. The questions of what and how will be answered regarding various technology choices. This will be very clearly and consistently defined as integration becomes institutionalized in the physical architecture. The configuration management approach you decide upon will be very important when formulating this physical layer of the architecture. This layer will produce the formal as-is state of your solution and fully align with the implementable blueprint that the logical architecture...
